GoPro HERO4 Session review

Very expensive compared with rivals ; App needed to adjust most settings ; Slow to respond with some MicroSD cards

The simple square box style has been growing in popularity for action cameras, and with the HERO4 Session GoPro becomes the latest manufacturer to launch a camera of this style, following the likes of Polaroid's Cube and Cube+, and the Rollei 500 Sunrise.

It's significantly smaller and lighter, but how well does it record video?

One of the smallest and lightest action cameras around ; Proficient video recording ; Easy user interface ; Waterproof to 10 metres without housing ; Strong range of mounts that don't add much bulk to its size

No still-photo mode directly from the camera ; Can accidentally activate the wrong mode ; Expensive

GoPro Hero Session review

The small Hero Session is GoPro's easiest-to-use action cam, and does a pretty good job. If only it wasn't so expensive.

There’s a lot to like about the smallest, simplest GoPro, but its biggest hurdle was its price. At $400 it was too pricey to appeal to casual users the same way Polaroid’s $99 Cube does, and it also cost the same as the Silver, a camera that offers...

Where does a company go after defining and dominating an entire industry segment year after year with few changes to its basic formula? For GoPro, the answer is: smaller, simpler, and more fun. The $399.99 Hero4 Session marks the first major redesign...

GoPro Hero4 Session review: This cube is ready for action

Three years ago GoPro started work on a new project to answer one question: If a rival were creating a "GoPro killer," what would it be?

The GoPro Hero4 Session addresses the main design sticking points with previous GoPro cameras: It's smaller, lighter and waterproof without a housing; the new shape allows for more flexible mounting; it's fast to start/stop recording; and its new mic...

Video quality, while very good, isn't as good as GoPro's other $400 camera, the Hero4 Silver. The built-in battery means no swapping out for a fresh pack to keep shooting. It needs to be wirelessly connected to Android/iOS device or GoPro remote (not...

GoPro sheds its housing for the Hero4 Session, an excellent POV camera that's ready to capture what the day brings -- in or out of the water -- at the press of a button.

Review: GoPro Hero4 Session

It's a little 1.5-inch cube, so it's small enough to mount just about anywhere. Little of the bulk and drag of a traditional GoPro mount. Super-simple one-button operation. Fully waterproof without a case, even the microphones. New mounts extend usability

Less capable than other GoPro cameras. Inferior image quality in detail, dynamic range, color depth, and image noise. Too costly at $400, the same price as the much better Hero4 Silver
